My Terrain Builds

[astrobouncer]

This thread is going to have pictures of my many terrain builds.

These first pictures are a winter castle I been working on for a couple days. I am going to do more for the tower and make it taller and winding with a staircase that goes around. I plan on making the round tower at least 2 more feet high.  

Its already pretty darn big, over 2 feet wide and 25 inches to the top of the tower as it stands now.

The gate is not done which is why it has no snow, I am going to paint it some more and then make it openable like a portcullis should be.

The inside is also not done, these are earlier pictures of how it used to look, iv since added some more dry brushing and created more accessories but no pics of those yet.

Also I have this winter ruins terrain I made that is similar to the castle. 20 by 30 inches.

EXALT BUTTON!!!

Can you identify the lady by the hearth? What line is it from?

Please advise,
Kev!

[astrobouncer]

Thanks Kev! She is from 1991. 1991 TSR Inc, Mfg by Ral Partha is stamped on the bottom.

Heres more ruins terrain I made, of a similar vein to the castle:

Kev I just remembered I got her in a pack of ravenloft miniatures, this one, the very first listed greater wolfwere:

More pillars and ruins.

Some winter scatter terrain to go with the above winter pieces:

These are some tiles I made from scratch, these are hot glue casts of the original molds.

I wanted some easy to place skeletons, and some with weapons and treasure around. I made 12 different ones.

They are all cast in hot glue, so pretty durable but without all the mess and danger of resin. I am going to try and sell these for 12 bucks for 12 unpainted ones. If there is sufficient demand I will make more different ones. they have the usual weapons, swords, dagger, pick, and axe.
























Unpainted just primered:

Awwsome stuff, all! What I loved to see most were the pillars, not because they were the best but because that gave me another great reference for the pillars I need for my dwarven mine terrain set. Great timing!

Your treasure tiles look very cool, but they look too 'new' - a thin black or dark brown wash over the golden glitter works wonders and makesit look much more realistic. I did a large dragon hoard some time ago (see here) and that wash was making the whole thing damn near perfect, even if the pics don't really show it. I'm right now making new treasure tiles for my son, and I'll share pics showing the difference before/after the wash.

[astrobouncer]

Yeah good thinking thank you! I will do that.

Here's some tombs + crypts, skull shrines and alters I made today. Alot of the tombs I cast from hot glue from clay models I made awhile back.










































And a nice center piece for a town here, the center is interchangeable so you could put a throne, a well, a magical gate, etc.

Some Ruined Walls for my Temple in progress, in some of the pictures the flock is still drying.


















This door is for another set.

You did a WONDERFUL job giving the ruins an overgrown look. The vines are particularly striking. OUTSTANDING WORK!

[tauster]

Wow, another awesome terrain set! The speed at which you churn out those sets is impressing!

How did you do the vines, what kind of material is that? Looks great!

[margaret]

It's a kind of moss that grows as long strands along logs and tree trunks. People harvest it for the floral trade, and the craft stores with fake flowers and related materials often sell it. I don't know if it's available in Europe.

[erho]

I'd like to see how you transport it if you do.

Nice job!!!

[astrobouncer]

Thanks for the comments all! I can do a picture of the bag of moss if you want tauster, I got it at either Hobby Lobby or Michaels, and it was discounted. I think even wal mart has them at some stores.

Its called proflora spanish moss.

Its basically this stuff but dyed green I believe:

Here's my newest invention, a snow ziggurat that is not done yet. I would have done a lot more crafting but our power went out for 16 hours (on my last day off too bah!). I painted most of this by flashlight, heh.

[erho]

Ive been there, watch out for the ropers on the top level, and theres a Medusa that dashes from column to column.

I did get a cloak of the Bat from this place.

8/10 would delve again

[astrobouncer]

I found the temple centerpiece that was missing from the above temple set, here it is. Its missing some crumbling pillars, I will find them later, I have to head to work now.









Another wall section with some statues, they arent done yet either.

  Call in sick, and continue to craft!!
